Whether your lusting over Kylie Jenner’s lip transformation or can’t get your head around how the goddess that is Angelina Jolie was blessed with such natural plump lips, the perfect pout has been the talk of the beauty town for a while and has become the ultimate desirable feature to possess.

These days there are all sorts of products and home remedies that promise to give you those plump lips that you’ve always desired, but have you ever thought about the ingredients that are in some of the lip plumpers you’ve been using?

Have you ever noticed that super spicy foods can irritate your lips and make them swell? Well, most plumping glosses use ingredients that do just that!

The shiny finish of glosses is partially why your lips appear fuller when you wear them but the majority of products we’ve looked at also contain irritants such as capsicum (ouch!), cinnamon or even bee venom! These ingredients aggravate the capillaries and cause blood to rush to the surface of the skin, which results in a temporary ‘fullness’ to your lips.

That would explain the burning sensation your feel when you apply lip plumping products!

CODE LIP is unlike other plumpers on the market; the magic ingredient is Hilurlip, which contains a blend of Hyaluronic acid, Tripeptide-1 and Dimethicone. Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating substance that has the ability to hold a thousand times its weight in water, which makes it the ideal ingredient to moisturise and plump the skin while also filling in those fine lines.

The exclusive combination helps to redefine the natural contours of the lips and create a more defined, volumised look. Hilurlip also contains compounds that protect the lips from sun damage and helps minimise the appearance of small vertical lines.
